A call, after being invited 20 an entertain

recognition by the person invited of the COM

are often called party calls, but invitation

Reception Days.

In accordance with the custom already well
established in the large cities, ladies every
where are having particular days of the week
or month in which their friends may call ON
them. This is great convenience, enabling
busy women to attend to their other duties
without dreading the intrusion of q caller at
an inopportuns time. On days other than
the reception date, no ordinary caller can
claim the lady's time, and she need not be
surprised il she is not admitted. Women
physicians and other feminine professionals
usually have one evening In the month for
being at home to their friends Very busy
women can adopt the same rule. The day
and hours of reception are printed ON the

Fate Of Old Armv Tr.puipes.

'.What becomes Of the old army mus

reporter or a gentleman prominently con-
nected with a Maiden lane arms establish
ment the other day.
That's rather broad question and one
which cannot be answered in a moment
Iu the first place. the worn out clothing
and arms nowadays don't amount to
much, though some Of the latter are
worth q trihe. Only when there is m
over production does the government sell
its muskets and rifles, and at the present
time this does not occur frequently.
After the war, however, the market was
flooded with this truck purchased origin
tlly by persons Of speculative propen-
Mites, who, failing to realize what they
expected. sold it for almost nothing Some
thought that the leather in the belts and
trappings might be used in harness or
sold to manufacturers of steel for temper
ing, but the latter preferred tan bark
You will Oftentimes see truckmen
wearing regulation army overcoats,
and many people wonder how they
were obtained. just as have told you:
these coats were sold to dealers in second
hand garments, who shipped them in
quantities all over the country to smaller
concerns. by whom they were sold at S3
to $J each.
Now, the old muskets, as you know,
were unwieldy affairs, very long and cum

We have had the pleasure of urging
FROM time TO time. that the pupils in our
public schools should be instructed, thor

concerning the structure of their own bodies
and the functions and operations Of the
several organs which constitute the human
frame. and We are therefore especially
pleased and encouraged by the action taken
by the board of education in purchasing
several series of very' beautiful rolOred
plates, in which are shown the different
internal organs of the body. and in which
their uses are illustrated. We doubt wheth-
or. by any other method or means, true idGs
Of human physiology could be conveyed So
well and SO intelligibly as by the employ
ment Of these charts-which must be eH-
ceedingly useful as supplementing lnstrut-
ton In text books.
We hope that the members of the board
of education will follow up this good begin
ing by making speciality OF this
branch. and by way of increas-
ing their information, We would
be glad to have them attend in body. that

During the past two years she has gained

As this is matter of universal and very

tirely non-partisan, We urge all citizens TO
be present at this session of the convention.
We have before us copy OF work .'for

anime the book to decide As to its literary
or scientific merits. but we call the attention
of members of the board and teachers to it.
and urge them to give ii a fair and thorough
examination. and take such action as seems
advisable as 10 its adoption as a text book,
or reader.
